It was so scary for me. I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened but it felt like my front and rear wings were upside down.
Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015

Sam Hornish Jr, Indy 2006
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.

Danica Patrick on driving an IndyCar after 7 years away, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 1st 2018
The Indy 500 is the biggest race in the world. I don't think it's even debatable. It is.
Dan Wheldon
Everyone remembers the pole winner for two weeks. Everyone remembers the race winner for life.

I came in not knowing what to expect. I basically fell in love with IndyCar.

3-horse chase. Power, Dixie and GR

Tony Kanaan's blog, May 2007
We won a 500-mile race - not the right one, but we won a 500-miler...

Colton Herta on winning his first IndyCar race, COTA, 24th March 2019
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude here but it's going to be ugly. If IndyCar goes the domed skid route, we're going to be taking a knife to a gunfight.

Now it's obvious we were too conservative, we should have just gone for it

I bet you'd love to drive one, you just wouldn't want to crash one!

The walls are white, the track is grey, the grass is green, and the sky is blue... your job is to keep them all where they belong.
Johnny Rutherford's advice to Indy 500 rookies
I mean this guy can't even keep his lies straight. He's told so many in the last week, he's not sure what the truth is.
Robin Miller on Kevin Kalkoven, February 2008
"Many people always ask me why I sign off 'Until we meet again.' Because goodbye is so final. Goodbye, Dan Wheldon."

I was going through there as hard as I could. It was for everything. It was for all the marbles.

We are trying to fix them but when you start behind the eight ball like last year you are playing catch-up and you will continue to play catch-up until we get rid of these stupid kits!

There is nothing like winning the Indianapolis 500 and fortunately I was able to do so.

It's always sad to be out of a race but I'm happy that I walked away; it was a nasty, nasty crash.
Tony Kanaan at the 2009 Indianapolis 500
The track is narrower than I thought! You watch the television and you see three cars alongside on the main straight - now I am in the car on the main straight and it's hard to imagine how you can fit three cars there at speed.
